Studies assessing the impact of UV radiation on plant life have emphasized the role of the cuticle and underlying epidermis as optical filters for solar radiation. The field concerned with the diffusive transport of lipophilic organic non-electrolytes across the plant cuticle has reached a state of maturity. A new paradigm has recently been proposed for the diffusion of polar cAnnual plant reviews23Plant cuticlePlant cuticle.575.451580.5Riederer Markus1000254Muller Caroline1000255MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996213063203316Biology of the plant cuticle2295903UNISA
